depends on how much money you spend.. if you are worth enough, then the company will want to make you happy and keep that money.. otherwise, they dont give a shit no matter how "important" you think you are

btw, all projects thematically derived from "the most dangerous game" type scenarios must include Ice-T in some form, in order to retain any modicum of legitimacy. this is of course due to his mastery of that character portrayal

Any time LucasArts is in the news you're guaranteed a few people make these statements.

thats not "rebooting".. thats repainting.. if all the content is the same except graphics, its not a reboot - its "updated".. its the same game with newer graphics

but anyways, i dont ask for shit like that .. i can enjoy old games as they are

IMO, reboots are bullshit - of course everyone is free to do as they like and think whatever they want, as am i

Prince of Persia would be on a list of such things within video gaming.

not really man, if you are talking about the common tropes of prose and so forth, thats already been around for thousands of years... the synthesis of new arrangements is most common, but some people actually do manage to break new ground.. even if it doesnt become part of historic record because people cant digest it because its not the same premade bullshit they've been force-fed for their whole life

how many times was King Arthur rebooted? doesnt matter because its still the same bullshit at the core

its like beamers idea that its different if its "indie" or whatever, and no thats not the case at all.. its flat across the board - if you are a slave to the past, you are a slave to the past, period... if you understand the past, you know how to move forward without clinging to it like some kind of security blanket
